Please give me a monthly ticket, please give me a lot of support.

This month's retreat and alchemy refining also allowed Qin Zhichu to consume all the spiritual medicines he had that could refine the foundation-building pill. He wanted to continue to retreat, but there were no spiritual medicines available. Moreover, he could not stay in seclusion forever. There were many things in Ningqing County that he still needed to deal with.
Before leaving the seclusion, Qin Zhichu specially released the Haotian Golden Palace and checked the number of the Longevity tablets, which were 23,090 yuan, a number that surprised him very much. He took the incense power condensed on the Longevity tablets without hesitation, and suddenly, a warm current hit his whole body, and he was light and very comfortable.
Ningqing County has a population of about 130,000, with a total of more than 36,000 households. In contrast, more than 13,000 households have not erected a tablet of immortality for him. Qin Zhichu had no better way to do this, so he could only let the officials in Ningqing County do things better.
But now, Qin Zhichu has managed Ningqing County well enough, and it is even more difficult to improve it. It is probably not that easy to implement good governance and increase the number of people erecting tablets for him.
Qin Zhichu had no experience in this area. He thought about it and did not come up with more and better solutions. He could only leave the matter first, leave this matter for the future, and find a way to solve it.
After leaving the customs, Qin Zhichu found that many people were waiting for him. Han Qingshi and Teng Xiangdong came back from Nanyang. They brought back more than five million taels of silver, all of which were obtained from selling the pill of rejuvenation.
This number far exceeded Qin Zhichu's expectations. Last time, he asked Han Qingshi and Teng Xiangdong to sell the rejuvenation pills respectively, but they only received more than two million taels of silver.
"Brother, you don't know that this time, we met a blond and blue-eyed foreigner in Nanyang, and he bought all the rejuvenation pills by himself. The more than 5 million taels of silver was the payment for us. I asked the foreigner at that time why the price was so high?
The foreigner said that there was a king there. He needed such a pill, and said that if we had more pills for rejuvenation in the future, we could contact him, and he would still buy it at a high price.
***, I had known that there were such stupid and rich people in the West. At the beginning, I should have used the first batch of rejuvenation to trade with them."
Han Qingshi looked annoyed, but he was very happy. His trip to Southeast Asia received a lot of benefits. Not only did he gain knowledge and opened his eyes, but he also brought back a few concubines from Southeast Asia. Two of them were Western women with yellow hair, blue eyes and white skin. They were very wild on the bed. Han Qingshi and they practiced the Wanxiang Gouhong Pill Condensation Art, which benefited a lot.
"Second brother, you have to prepare in advance. Maybe after a while, I will transfer from Ningqing County and go to Longlu County, northern Henan Prefecture to be the county magistrate."
Han Qingshi's role on Qin Zhichu is irreplaceable. In addition, the relationship between the two was cultivated through hardships together, which is much deeper than others. If possible, Qin Zhichu still hopes to bring Han Qingshi out so that he can stand alone, at least to let him still have his mother, and not be bullied by the wife and son of the Korean princess.
Han Qingshi had a very messed up understanding of the administrative divisions of Dazhou. He didn't know what Longlu County was like, but since he had never heard of the name of this county, he knew that he was afraid that it would not be much better. However, he still said: "Brother, it's good to go to Longlu County, at least it's closer to uncles and aunts. It's more convenient to visit them in the future."
Seeing that Qin Zhichu and Han Qingshi were in endless trends when they talked to each other, Teng Xiangdong was afraid that Han Qingshi would become more interested and wanted to introduce his concubines to Qin Zhichu to know. He interrupted, "Grandmaster, I heard that you intend to accept apprentices in Guangguang, Ningqing County and teach the way of cultivation. I wonder if the old man's daughter and son-in-law can sign up?"
Qin Zhichu smiled and said, "Not only your daughter and son-in-law can register, even if it is you, it's okay. In the past, I just casually told you to go to Ningqing County to develop. I didn't expect that you would really bring your family here and sell your industries in Qingpu County and move them.
After you arrived in Ningqing County, you did not focus your main energy on your Teng Family's industry. Instead, you spent a lot of energy to run errands for me, and seized every opportunity to promote the insignificant things I did in Ningqing County. I saw what you did and remembered them in my heart.
I have always been rewarded and punished in my work, and I will not let anyone’s merits be despised or ignored. Therefore, I can give you the opportunity to have your daughter and son-in-law. If you are suitable for cultivation, I will spare no effort to cultivate you."
After receiving Qin Zhichu's personal promise, Teng Xiangdong was surprised and happy. He hurriedly left his seat and knelt in front of Qin Zhichu, "Thank you, the great man, for your favor."
Qin Zhichu waved his hand and asked him to get up, "I've given you an opportunity, I hope you can seize it. I really hope that your Teng family can produce a cultivator."
Teng Xiangdong's business ability is unquestionable. Han Qingshiyuan is inferior to that in this regard. If Qin Zhichu wants to develop his personal power, he has to raise money through various channels. Jingshi, so a shopkeeper who specializes in helping him manage the industry is indispensable.
Qin Zhichu was quite fond of Teng Xiangdong being responsible for this matter, but he didn't know whether Teng Xiangdong could succeed in his cultivation. If he couldn't, it depends on whether his daughter and son-in-law had talent in this area.
Han Qingshi brought back more than 5 million taels of silver this time, so it is naturally impossible to devote all of them to Ningqing County’s households. After all, the large-scale construction of Ningqing County has reached the end stage, and there are not many places to spend money in the future. In addition, he is about to leave Ningqing County. There is no reason to pay out of his own pocket to enrich Ningqing County’s warehouses so that the next county magistrate will squander.
When he was about to leave Ningqing County, he left no more than one thousand taels of silver on the books and let the next county magistrate use it. He thought that doing so was a complete end. You should know that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, all prefectures, prefectures, and county magistrates left their posts, it was common to leave a huge deficit.
Qin Zhichu asked Guang again about taking disciples and how was the preparations. Guan Zhiwen was the general manager. He replied: "Dongweng, we have almost prepared. According to your requirements, we have built a school with bamboo as the main structure next to Jiulongxi Lake. It can accommodate two or three hundred people. If it is squeezed, it can accommodate more than five hundred people. In addition, the notices to all parties are also ready and can be posted at any time."
"Then let's post it. The first batch will recruit five people first." Although Qin Zhichu wanted to recruit apprentices, he was very cautious in actual operations. After all, he trained apprentices not to make up for the numbers. Instead, he hoped that these apprentices could help him in the future like Guan Zhiwen, Yan Ning and others.
Seeing that the first group of Qin Zhichu was willing to recruit only five people, Xi Yisong, Guan Zhiwen and others breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with the 130,000 population of Ningqing County, the five people seemed inconspicuous. Even if they were recruited, they would not cause taboos in the court.
From posting notices to choosing an apprentice, there was still half a month left. Qin Zhichu wanted to use this time to get familiar with the thunder magic. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Dingru came to the door.
When Qin Zhichu got the news, Yu Meihui was greeting Dingru for him. Yu Meihui's beautiful eyes showed full vigilance. Although Dingru was bald, her appearance was also extremely beautiful. Moreover, because of bald, her beauty had a unique taste.
Yu Meihui was worried that something bad would happen between Qin Zhichu and Dingru. As far as she knew, Monk Lusi had strict control over its monks and nuns. Especially in terms of lewd precepts, once someone violated the precepts, not only the monks or nuns who violated the precepts would be punished, but those who caused the monks and nuns to violate the precepts would also be severely punished and might even be executed.
There were several scholars in the Wanxiang Sect who didn't know the dangers. They were greedy for the virgin Yuanyin on the nun's body, used evil magic, and seduced the little nun. They were caught by Monk Lusi. Their body was destroyed by Monk Lusi, and their souls were trapped in the soul-catching bottle, and they were constantly burned by the Buddha's light day and night.
Dingru's beautiful eyes fluttered, "Elder Yu, Poin Ni has long vowed to devote his whole life to the Buddha, and there will be no man or woman that will make Poin Ni move. So, don't worry about it."
Yu Meihui had a beautiful face, but she didn't expect that Dingru would see through her thoughts.
At this time, Qin Zhichu received the news and rushed over, "Dingru, what's wrong with you here this time?"
Dingruto clasped his hands together, "Mr. Qin, I really forget the truth.
You forgot that when we met last time, Pontie said that we would introduce you to our Monk Relics Department? Pontie has reported your situation to Master Dugang. Master Dugang decided to see how good your alchemy level is, and then decide whether to make an exception for you.
This time, Pomni is here to take you to Penglai Island, where you can comprehensively evaluate your alchemy level, and then talk about other things."
"Go to Penglai Island?" Qin Zhichu was shocked, "Dingru, how much time will it take to go back and forth?"
Dingru said: "In addition to the time of traveling back and forth, the fastest is about ten days, and the slowest is probably one month. How long will it be? Pomni cannot give you an accurate number, after all, there may be many variables."
Qin Zhichu thought about it, but finally felt that it was necessary to go to Penglai Island. This was not only to join the monk Lusi and Daolusi and create opportunities, but also to find some treasures suitable for him in Penglai Island. If possible, he had to get more spiritual medicines to continue to improve his alchemy level. "Okay, I'll go to Penglai Island with you."
Soon, Qin Zhichu and Dingru left Ningqing County and headed straight for Penglai Island. Although Yu Meihui also wanted to go to Penglai Island, she had to stay and take care of the two chicks and could not escape.
On the way to Penglai Island, Dingru began to briefly introduce the situation of Penglai Island to Qin Zhichu. Compared with the Great Zhou, it is a world dominated by secular people, Penglai Island is a place where secular people exist. Wherever they are, even those who sweep the floor have their cultivation.
Dingru focused on introducing Qin Zhichu to the division of power on Penglai Island. Although Penglai Island, Monklusi and Daolusi once joined forces to set up Princess Zhiping, they were allies. Most of the time, they were in a competitive relationship.
The monk Lusi and the Dao Lusi were organized by Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is like two ministers under the emperor, who both wanted to gain more trust from the emperor, and they would inevitably fight openly and secretly.
Although Penglai Island has no connection with the Great Zhou royal family, and even the power they possess is stronger than either Monk Lusi or Daolusi, once Monk Lusi and Daolusi join forces, Penglai Island will have to admit defeat.
No matter where you are, the resources for cultivation are limited. Although Penglai Island has hundreds of islands, it is still a bit difficult to support the three major organizations. For the resources for cultivation, the struggle between them is also common.
"Mr. Qin, Ni Ni told you this, just to make you mentally prepared. Don't think that if you can join the Monk Lusi, everything will be fine. If you want to gain a foothold in the complex environment, you must have strong abilities. After arriving at Penglai Island, you must not hide it. You must show all your abilities. The greater your abilities, the more our Monk Lusi will be able to make an exception for you." Dingru said earnestly.
Qin Zhichu nodded repeatedly, "Dingru, you must have spent a lot of energy on my business. No matter whether you can succeed this time, I will never forget the efforts you made."
Dingru put his hands together, "Mr. Qin is so serious. Helping you is helping Pondni himself."
As the two were talking, they saw a few black dots in the distance at the junction of the clear water and blue sky, and Dingru pointed in that direction, "Mr. Qin, there is Penglai Island."
Qin Zhichu took a deep breath, and he had only one thought in his mind at this moment, that is, this trip to Penglai Island must go smoothly.
However, God seemed to be against Qin Zhichu. Qin Zhichu and Dingru had just flew to the outermost island of Penglai Island, and suddenly a long rainbow rushed up from the island. An arrogant Taoist priest stood on the alchemy furnace with his hands behind his back. All the fire of resentment came out of his eyes.
"Qin Zhichu, aren't you dead yet?" Ji Youjun was blocking the way. He thought Qin Zhichu had died on Phoenix Island, but he didn't expect to see Qin Zhichu on Penglai Island. When he saw Qin Zhichu, he remembered the scene when Qin Zhichu knocked him away. Since he became the apprentice of Master Ji Yuchuan, he has not been so embarrassed.
Qin Zhichu rolled his eyelids and said, "Ji Youjun, it seems that you really don't have a memory. Have you forgotten that a good dog is not blocking the way? Do you still want me to knock you out?"
